Description

Expected Behavior

Inside of the loaded environment, we need to run at least one plan, and probably do a few other operations too.
We need to catch some common use cases to make sure they still work inside the installed version of IPython.

Current Behavior

No such test exists. We do load IPython but we don't run any tests inside of it.

Possible Solution

Pipe in some run engine commands into the tstpython tests?

Context

IPython 7.30.0 has some compatibility issues with bluesky on account of breaking the asyncio handling

Research direction

Start by locating the tstpython tests and the existing code that loads IPython. Add coverage that runs at least one Bluesky plan and other common operations inside the loaded shell, then verify the tests exercise the installed IPython version and its asyncio handling.
